Either way its their fault
I agree with your first point, but not your last.

If, and it is a big if given the additional information that we now have, the dealer did a HPI check then it is not the dealer's fault the check was deficient.

Sounds like the dealer has pretty much admitted they didn't do the check.

Best of luck to your friend.
